Important note
The former Moodle Educator Certification (MEC) is now known as the Moodle Educator Qualification (MEQ). This rebranding comes with a fresh, new-look certificate, but rest assured, the program remains the same at its core — designed to empower educators and learning professionals with the skills they need to succeed in the digital world.
What is the Moodle Educator Qualification?
The MEQ is a qualification program for educators, or learning and development professionals, who have experience in teaching or training with Moodle LMS or Moodle Workplace. The MEQ emphasises the importance of developing pedagogic and professional competences to enhance and innovate online education and training. Although it is not a training program, as participants progress through the qualification process, they will reflect on their practice and this will strengthen their understanding and confidence when teaching with Moodle.
MEQ is based on the widely used and accepted European Framework for the Digital Competence for Educators (DigCompEdu). It is a six-course qualification program that allows experienced Moodle educators, or learning and development professionals, to demonstrate their expertise in teaching or creating learning development programs with Moodle LMS or Moodle Workplace. Educators who successfully complete the program will obtain an official qualification certificate directly from Moodle Pty Ltd.
